The Raffia Hobo Bag Is 2025’s Chicest Summer Accessory
These iconic slouchy styles are sure to elevate any warm weather look.
Nothing completes a stylish spring ensemble like a raffia bag. With shades reminiscent of sandy shores and desert palms, this summery textile is up for grabs in an array of playful shapes and designs. Personally, I’ve been vying for a slouchy hobo version since spotting them on the runway at the Ulla Johnson spring summer 2025 show in New York. Adored for its crescent-like shape and effortless boho aesthetic, the hobo isn’t going anywhere despite us transitioning into sunnier weather. The casual silhouette is being crafted in raffia and straw options, making it an ideal style for hotter months.
And no, you needn’t save these for vacation—they pair beautifully with any warm weather look regardless of location. Pair a spacious beachy tote with linen pants and an airy blouse for a true boho-romance moment, or opt for a small top handle to wear with a patterned dress for an evening outing.
Raffia, made from palm leaves, acts almost like a neutral and is versatile enough to complement every color. Given its tight weave, raffia is also durable, allowing you to load up your bag with sunscreen, beach towels, and other essentials without worrying about its strength.
Whether you prefer a bold statement piece from Khaite or a mini hammock-shaped bag from Loewe, I’ve compiled a list of 20 different hobo bags in various sizes so you can find the perfect one to elevate your look this season.
